Lucy.. you have some s’plainin to do..

January 14th, 2011

I have been hiding from my blog.. well not hiding.. so much as I now fight for computer time from my 2 year old.. I know right.. my mom is shaking her head as we speak.. I started the really horrible habit of giving olive PBS kids online while she eats.. and she goes into this coma where she is shoveling food into her face and doesn’t realize it.. because the daddy doesn’t come home until 8:30 for dinner.. we aren’t eating family meals together.. and this seems to work.. there.. I justified it ;) 

I tweaked the muscle in my wrist on Monday.. and it is still not back to normal. I cant lift her with it.. I cant get her out of a car without wincing.. and I can barely type on the computer.. the worst though.. has to be lifting my preggo ace around in bed.. and it wakes me up hourly.. oy veh.. yesterday was “that day”.. that shift in pregnancy that you can feel.. the little bump above your vag and under your belly button just kind of pops enough that you are uncomfortable.. and pants fit even worse now.. (can I rock Christmas pjs until May 25th?).. sitting cross leg feels funny.. and my impromptu return to the gym last night felt weird.. the bouncing on the elliptical was not a nice feeling.. and because this baby is sitting lower.. I think she just bounced around on me pelvis for the entire 15 minutes on the machine!!

with all that being said.. I am very happy to be 21 weeks.. bring on the baby!!

my nesting is also at full force.. me.. and dustin.. are lovin it!! fridges are being cleansed.. toys are being put away hourly.. dishes are returning back to their home.. and I am also turning into suzy homemaker.. (well.. my version anyways).. I made my first ever bread machine bread.. and it was good!

I am not to sure why the top never bubbled and browned.. but oh well.. I wont eat that chunk.. the whole house smelled of warm country bread.. the first piece with the crunchy crust.. smothered in butter was worth waiting around the home for 2 hours and 40 minutes.. Olive even wanted in on the action.. and don’t get me started on how good tuna melts were on this bad boy!!

I have also been lounging away on our new couch.. my dream I made a reality.. I have wanted it for a while now.. and due to some very kind financial Christmas donors.. it happened.. getting to Ikea wasn’t the easiest.. getting it home in snow rain wasn’t fun.. setting it up until 12:30 am wasn’t on Dustin’s to do list.. but the after results.. priceless!! how I lived without a chaise lounge before.. I will never know.. 

and there is room for two to snuggle on that bad boy.. 

due to some heart wrenching blood work that Olive had to have drawn :(  we snuggled on here all day yesterday.. a big blanky.. cartoon-ies.. and some chocolate M&M’s to get those sugar levels up ( her.. not me..) it was a fine day.. 

watching my sweet 2 year old 21 lb peanut being held down on a bed.. was way to much for me.. I am all about bettering their health.. and keeping them happy and alive.. but when I over heard the nurses on the phone for 20 minutes.. trying to find out how much blood to take from a 20 pound baby was “safe”.. I could feel the anxiety rolling in.. not being a fan of needles myself did not help.. I couldn’t even be in the room with her.. Dust went in and held her down with all his weight.. and another nurse helped as well.. and she was going nuts.. I just cried outside the door while I watched tears stream down her face.. 

"mama hurt.. hurt.. mama hugs..  no no no.."

I almost got sick.. I had her milk bubbas ready for some comfort after.. and she was distraught.. seeing the gauze and tape on her arm was making her upset.. and I just got the heck out of there and sat in the lobby with her so we could be away from the “drs”.. who gave her “medicine in her elbow”  argh.. 

we came home and just snuggled.. and she eventually came back to normal child life.. but it took a good 5 hours..  I know there are way worse off children going through way worse life events that are awful.. but this way our first encounter.. 

this photo was taken a week ago.. I didn’t have the heart to put her down to snap a photo.. 

and now it is Friday.. always my most hectic day of the week.. getting the house ready for papa to babysit.. getting ready for work.. banking.. bill paying.. the usual weekend wrap up junk.. when all I want to do is sip on my coffee.. and crawl back onto that chaise lounge!!

Happy Friday!
